Frequently Asked Questions
How much can my landlord increase rent in Dubai?
Rent increases in Dubai are governed by the RERA Rental Index. The allowed increase depends on how far below market rate your current rent is: 0% if within 10% of market, 5% if 11–20% below, 10% if 21–30% below, 15% if 31–40% below, and 20% if more than 40% below market rate. Landlords must provide 90 days' written notice before any increase.
What is the RERA Rental Index in Dubai?
The RERA Rental Index is the official benchmark published by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency that determines fair market rent for every area, building, unit type, and size in Dubai. Landlords can only increase rent if the current amount is below the index value. Tenants can check their property's index value on the Dubai REST app or RERA website to verify if a proposed increase is legal.
